AAMPO members include the Cities of Albany, Jefferson, Millersburg, and Tangent, as well as Linn and Benton Counties and the Oregon Department of Transportation. Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are established by Federal directive for all urbanized areas with a population of 50,000. Click HERE to access the AAMPO Policy Board member list.

As part of the regional transportation planning process, AAMPO is responsible for developing:

Albany Area Regional Transportation Plan

AAMPO adopted its first Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) in May 2018. The RTP outlines transportation improvements for the Albany area over the next 20 years. Click HERE to access the RTP.

The purpose of the RTP is to plan for transportation improvements such as roads, sidewalks, bikeways, and transit. The RTP examines what exists today, forecasts demand, analyzes future options, and makes recommendations for a balanced and efficient transportation system. The project also collaborates between agencies and jurisdictions, builds on good decisions that have already been made, and creates a common vision for the future of transportation in the area.

During the planning process, AAMPO also facilitated development of a Transit Development Plan (TDP) for the Albany area. Click HERE to access the TDP.
